Can I get baby equipment at the Airport?

We only offer Airport Meet at Car Rental Agencies at the Houston Bush/IAH Airport and the New Orleans International Airport. We must have the complete flight information and the car rental service you are using. Car Rental Agencies will neither accept baby gear deliveries for travelers, nor will they hold rented items for pick up. Due to their policies, we MUST meet customers to deliver and pick up the rental items. Furthermore, we require a cell phone number, Airline, Flight Number, Flight Arrival Time, and Car Rental Agency.

If you are not renting a car, we cannot meet you at the airport.

Timing and communication is critical to avoid wait times for both you and our staff. Our staff will contact you the day prior to your arrival to coordinate with you. Thus, it is helpful if customers keep us informed of any known flight delays. This allows us to arrive at an appropriate time and avoid excessive wait times. The Airport delivery fee allows for a 20-minute wait time, so please be aware that we are waiting for you. If you do not arrive within 20-minutes of your flight arrival, then our representative will attempt to call you to assure you are on the way. However, if you do not answer, we will leave. Therefore, an additional delivery fee will apply for a second delivery attempt. As a result, no refunds are provided for cancellation or no-show.

Are there fees beyond the rental prices?

First, Rockabye Baby Rentals is required by law to collect sales and use tax on baby rental equipment in each market we serve. In addition, when requesting delivery, there is a delivery/pick up fee that is based on the destination zip code. Delivery fees vary. Each of our locations rent baby equipment approximately a 30-mile radius from its warehouse. There are a few exceptions. So if you are unsure if we deliver to your destination, we recommend calling prior to booking an order.

Also, orders within 2 days of the rental begin date incur a $20 rush fee. Orders outside standard delivery / pick up hours incur an additional fee. We do not require a specific rental length, but all orders must equal $40 in rental items, excluding tax and delivery.

What are your hours?

The Rockabye Baby Rentals call center is open 8:30AM to 7PM, Monday through Friday; and 9AM to 1PM Weekends. In addition, our standard delivery and pick up times are 9AM to 3PM. However, we can arrange alternate baby gear rentals delivery & pick up times by appointment. Alternate times may incur an additional fee. Finally, for the safety of our staff and customers, we do not make deliveries outside daylight hours.

Our staff actively participates in delivery and pick up of orders, so occasionally you may reach our voicemail. Certainly, leave a detailed message with your name, contact telephone. It is amazingly helpful to know your dates of rental, destination postal code and the items you need. Hence, only one call is necessary to get a return call.
